Baise-moi (2000)
Condom Wearers Beware!
16 July 2001
Motivations are important. It's not the end-all and be-all of the movie for me, but they have to be there. And they have to make some sort of sense. One character strangles her roommate because she nags her too much. Another character is raped by two men, and meekly takes it, but when her brother swears to avenge her, she shoots him in the head. Huh? These two women meet in the most poorly scripted and contrived scene in the movie and, shortly afterwards, begin a crime spree, which involves screwing and/or killing men (with the occasional female victim here and there). The sex scenes (hardcore though they were) were either boring, or got a few giggles from the group I was with. The violent scenes were poorly staged as well, with the immediate aftermath, not the actual ‘act of' usually being shown.

The `theme' of this movie: All Men are garbage…at least after you've had sex with them. I'm sorry, but `Base Moi' adds nothing significant to the Natural Born Killers On The Run genre except the French language.
